The English journal Nano Materials Science, run by Chongqing University, was recently included in the Engineering Index (EI) Database. All articles published in the journal since it started publication in 2019 were included in the Database.

Engineering Index is a world well-known comprehensive retrieval database of engineering technology. The indexed documents involve various fields of engineering technology. It is characterized by its considerable comprehensiveness, extensive data sources, wide geographical coverage, huge amount of reports, high quality of reports, and high authority. As a leading online information service provider of applied science and engineering in the world, EI is providing professional and practical online data and other information services and support for scientific researchers and engineering technicians.

The inclusion into the EI Database means that the academic quality and academic influence of articles published in Nano Materials Science, and the standardization, internationalization and normalization of the journal publication have won international recognition. This is another significant breakthrough after it was selected as a core journal source of CSCD, included in Scopus Database, granted the earmarked fund for publication in Chongqing and selected as a top-quality journal of science and technology of Chongqing earlier this year. In the future, Nano Materials Science will be built into a world-first-rate journal of science and technology, and a platform for exchange and service of academic achievements with international influence as part of the construction of Chongqing University as a “Double-first-rate” University.
